Jon points out these two cartoons, which ran within a week of each other:
Cartoon one
Cartoon two
Possible reasons this may have happened:
1) The cartoonist is trying to establish a recurring character, and this is that character's catchphrase.
2) The cartoonist realized the phrasing of the joke in the first cartoon didn't work, and decided to write a version that made more sense (and to do it promptly before he forgot about it).
3) The cartoonist has found a way to make people who don't even read his cartoon blog about it.
It's like Monet and haystacks.

At least the "Go Fish" guy undeniably did two separate drawings. The line work in the two B.C.s is so similar I have my doubts.

"Monet had his haystacks."
You see how this works.
